Building a Starry Cookie Tree: My Christmas Challenge for This Year! ♡

I want to make a cookie tree ♡

Do you know the cute Christmas treat called a "cookie tree"?

Ta-da ♡ Here is the cookie tree ♡

As you can see, a cookie tree is made by stacking star-shaped cookies in descending sizes to create a Christmas tree.

It looks so festive, and it's easy to make without complicated steps, so be sure to add it to your list of recipes to make this Christmas ♩

Let me introduce the recipe＊

Once you make the cookie dough, cut out the stars.

The standard height for the tree is around 8 to 10 layers, so let's make about 8 to 10 star sizes＊

A set of star-shaped cookie cutters with slightly varying sizes is available at Daiso or on Rakuten.

One tip is to bake the dough a bit thicker ♩ This will give the tree height and make it more festive ♡

➡ Here is the 6-size star cookie cutter set

After baking and cooling the cookies, you can stack them as they are, but it's also recommended to ice the cookies or add toppings like silver balls to enhance their appearance when forming the tree＊

Finally, for the top star, use melted white chocolate as a glue to make sure it stands firmly.

You can find the detailed recipe video here ♩
